Children get long-term symptoms from short-term COVID infections. I want to open up as much as anyone but it's grossly irresponsible and selfish to be planning this based on a base adult vaccination rate without an active plan in place to protect childrenhttps://www.theguardian.com/society/2021/sep/01/one-in-seven-children-with-covid-still-suffering-three-months-later-study …

long-term shortness of breath though is a known long-term (years) side effect of SARS infection, and some adult long-COVID reporting ongoing issues. Definitely too early to think it will be ongoing issue for children, but also too early to dismiss it as some are trying to do!

My reading of the way people are interpreting this study is "we thought it would be catastrophic for kids, and it turns out it's only terrible for them, so no problem at all!". Not sure that's the approach I'd take
